Clonmel Thu, 5th Dec, 2019  Batcio There might be horses in behind him that might never win a race but he jumped well, travelled well and won like a odds-on shot in a very weak race,. There were a lot horses not fancied, some weren't great, unless he fell himself. Ian gave him a lovely ride and rode him with loads of confidence. Ian has his own place now and I meet him on the Curragh if I'm stuck and he is a lovely fella. He rode Any Second Now when he won his first race and he is a most obliging fella. This is basically Aubrey (McMahon's) horse but he is out of action with a knee injury and he hasn't ridden over fences, but if he goes back over hurdles Aubrey will ride him and could ride him over fences at some stage. He'll go to Limerick for a handicap chase next.

Punchestown Sun, 17th Nov, 2019  Dewcup I always thought he was a smart horse, . He won at Thurles and then ran well in Liverpool but probably shouldn’t have gone there as it was less than two weeks after.
